Wesleyan University has invited all Harvard students to attend its annual Parley on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of next week. The subject will be "American Foreign Policy" and many authorities will speak, among them Senator Nye, Adolph A. Berle, Jr. '12, assistant, Secretary of State, and Nathaniel Peffer, authority on the Far East. Wesleyan will arrange for accommodations and meals at its own expense...

Such remaining oppositionists as Missouri's fat Bennett Clark, North Dakota's Gerald Nye, California's Hiram Johnson, constituted not a real Opposition but a malformed crew without plan or leader.
